replying at AE
Hello Marlo,  I'm leaving this note under WP:AGF and WP:DONTBITE. The reasons I am writing is because I see you're replyhing to people at AE in their own section. I might be wrong about this, but I think at AE they like us to keep all of our remarks, including replies, under our own section. There are various ways to do that but I usually type like this

* In reply to So-and-So, in this edit, blah blah blah.

* In reply to So-and-So, in this edit, blah blah blah.

* In reply to So-and-So, in this edit, blah blah blah.

which produces text like this If that approach looks reasonable to you, you'd have to supply the correct text for the DIFFs you want to highlight. Also, if you mention a user's name you may wish to include Template:Ping by typing which renders as.
 * In reply to So-and-So, in this edit, blah blah blah.
 * In reply to So-and-So, in this edit, blah blah blah.
 * In reply to So-and-So, in this edit, blah blah blah.

New editors who demonstrate willingness to learn from feedback do reasonably well here, provided they admit mistakes, and keep calm and patient. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 21:58, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Marlo Jonesa, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Palestinians have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:38, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Arbitration Enforcement outcome
Hi Marlo Jonesa,

Just letting you know I've closed the Arbitration Enforcement thread here. There was consensus that your 500 sandbox edits are not in the spirit of the extended confirmed userright, so I've removed it for now. You can reapply for it at any time via WP:PERM/EC; as outlined in the closing statement I suggest that would be best done after making a substantial body of edits elsewhere in Wikipedia, so as to fall within the spirit of the 500/30 rule.

Happy to discuss if required., and all the best with your future editing. -- Euryalus (talk) 02:50, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
